I never saw The Smiths either, but....
I was at that Depeche Mode/OMD show at the Rose Bowl too. Does U2 in 1987 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, AZ count? They filmed a part of Rattle and Hum there. Tickets for both shows were only $5 each night. But I stopped listening to U2 after Joshua Tree. How about The Cure (sorry) at (LA) Dodger Stadium in 1989? My first ever show was The Thompson Twins in 1984. I don't go to as many shows now. But when Moz and The Cure have their "farwell" tours, I definitely will be at most of those shows.
